The military History of Ancient India has not attracted the
attention of scholars in sufficient measure. Naturally, not many
good books are available on the subject. Consequently, Indians know
little about the military system followed by their ancestors. A
serious effort, is therefore, needed to analyse and interpret the
source material which lies scattered in ancient Indian literature,
including scriptures and archaeological remains including
inscriptions and coins, to produce a tangible thesis on the
subject. This book is an humble effort in that direction. The book
tries to present a complete picture of Indian military system from
the earliest times. The topics covered include military
organization, conduct of war, strategical and tactical concepts,
weapons and armour, fortification, education and training and
ceremonials. Some ancillary aspects related to war such as defence
production, logistics, intelligence, medical services, engineering,
signals, etc., have also been covered. The study is based on
historical data. The myths and legends if not supported by
historical evidence have been ignored. Each chapter is a complete
study and is intended to generate a new thinking on the subject
among lay readers and scholars alike.
